The poor are spoiled
The poor are spoiled
From Media Indonesia
The government has a tendency of spoiling the poor and those
under the poverty line. This is evident from a number of programs
that provide special facilities for those people, such as "cheap
rice for the poor", free medical services, and cash aid
to offset the effects of the fuel price increases.
For this purpose the government has allocated Rp 4,748
trillion for some 15.5 million poor people. Each family is
entitled to receive Rp 100,000 per month under a one-year
program.
